I am somewhat concerned that the positioning of the 8's was part of the plan, which would have taken some mighty brave out-balls to find them under the circumstances. Whilst not thinking Ric covered himself in glory, the movement in front of him was awful. Absolutely agreed. If it was the plan, it ...

In the end, there's only two votes that matter - Evatt's and Brittan's - but you can't say it's not interesting that on each forum the Go vote is sliding and the Stay vote shoring up. Makes sense as anger subsides in some, but as has been correctly noted, there's still plenty of it about – and when ...

Randy is many things, but none of them are *central* midfielders.

Not sure anyone, anywhere, ever has said that Evatt should carry on as he is. I've repeatedly said he needs to change. I can't speak for all stay-voters, but I'm confident they all think the same to a greater or lesser extent. There's a serious conversation to be had, and it'd be lovely if it start...

We have four contracted central midfielders - Sheehan, Thomo, Morley, Dempsey - so we need more, whatever the manager and whatever the formation. Unless it's Ossie's 5-0-5. Or Mike Bassett's 4-4-2.

Yes it's now down to fans to find out who's available, who wants it and then interview them before suggesting alternatives. I have noticed that not many have responded to my question about those voting stay and whether this stay vote is based on Evatt accepting his failures, changing his ideology &...

While I was disappointed in him, Sheehan didn't simply hide - Harris is a brilliant pressing striker who positions himself well. Sheehan could have done more to help but all their front three did a great job of cutting off passing lanes (Sheehan and WBs). Sheehan is harder than he looks - he gets ki...

Yeah it's both true that we were awful, and that they absolutely nailed it. Could see the plan and they got it bang on. And thereby hangs the tale Pru, you could see it, I could see it, and the bulk of thirty thousand Whites supporters could see it: Why couldn't Ian Evatt? Send for Sherlock... :sho...

LOL @ "the usual nonsense". Aye, there's certainly loads of that about. :mrgreen: "WHAT DO WE WANT?" "SOMEONE NEW!" "WHO SHALL WE HIRE?" "DUNNO!" :lol: :lol: :lol: "I think you'll find it's not my role to comment on the details of the thing I've held forth about at length. In summary, Something Must...

I suspect that these days, if we tried to hire a manager whose experience in this country amounted to a title win two divisions below our station and a humiliatingly hubristic failed play-off attempt a division below us three years previously, fans would be seriously underwhelmed. Unless of course h...

Aye, mebbes. 54% now. Still wondering who the new Rioch is. Best suggestion seems to be a bloke whose four most recent Champo seasons ended in 14th, 9th, 16th and 16th before he got fired in 20th. Not the most Bruce record. Maybe we were just very very lucky to have Bruce Rioch, and indeed Sam Allar...

We got a lot of people laughing about us when we had Allardyce. We didn't really care.

The only way I think he leaves is if he realises that next year is going to be tougher, and his reputation is at a peak currently. He can walk away citing burnout, then would be attractive to suitors mid season after a refreshing break. From afar his CV is still impressive. Promotions with Barrow a...

More "stay" voters than "go" now. Only by the famous 52-48% split, but y'know.
Evxit means Evxit.

This post makes me feel anxious and queasy.

Even the announcer's prematch was bizarre. He sounded flustered and panicked next to Oxford's guy. Now he's apparently one social media having a go about Wigan. I thought ours was much better than their rather dull dude. Except when ours was reading the teams and got to Ogbeta, for whom he had no d...

Oh sure. Still want someone else to win.

Whether or not I agree with it, I can see the logic in that. And if he doesn't want to accept?

Some (but by no means all) of the criticism of Evatt is that he’s our Phil Neal and we just need to find our “new Rioch”. That’s an iconic name to bandy about. What did we mean by it? If we mean someone who, like Bruce, had already taken a team not just out of this division but the one above, they’r...
